Trusses

As roof designs have become more and more complicated, roof trusses are your best option as they are capable of spanning longer distances and can handle almost every configuration possible. Benefits include:

• Build Ceiling Profiles into Bottom Chords of Truss
• Build Roof Profiles into Top Chords of Truss
• Longer Spans
• Energy Heels [Extra Insulation Over Outside Walls]
• Labor Savings
• Elimination of Material Waste
• Speed of Erection/Installation
• Consistency

Floor trusses are superior solution to conventional floors as they are easier and faster to install than other floor systems. Floor trusses are 3 ½” wide, which allows them to stand on their own during installation. They also have more surface space for gluing and nailing the subfloor. This will ensure a squeak free floor system.

Floor trusses also have open webs that allow the trade contractors to run electrical wires and plumbing without having to drill holes in a joist. It also has added value in the fact that HVAC duct chases can be built into the floor systems, thus eliminating the need to frame in the duct below the ceiling.

Other benefits include:

• Additional Design Benefits
• Customer Floor Depths
• End Bearing Options [Top Chord/Bottom Chord]
• Cantilever Spans
• Built in Beam Pockets
• Keyed Bearing or Shared Bearing
• Ability to Design Stronger Trusses to Reduce Deflection Issues
• Labor Savings
• Elimination of Material Waste
• Speed of Erection/Installation
• Consistency

Floor panels are a great option if you are looking to accelerate the framing schedule. Floor panels are manufactured generally in 8’ widths and are lifted into place at the job site by a crane. The rim, bracing and building connectors are built into the floor system. Floor panel can be designed with I-Joist and or Floor Trusses.

The subfloor is glued and screwed the joist/truss to strengthen the panel.

Additional benefits to those listed for I-joist and floor truss:

• Elimination of Material Waste [Subfloor]
• Speed of Installation
• Quality of Subfloor Installation

Wall Panels & Stairs

• Reduces Onsite Labor Cost
• Assembled in Controlled Environment
• Consistent Quality [Fit and Finish]
• Elimination of Material Waste
• Speed of Erection/Installation

I-Joists are strong, lightweight, “I” shaped engineered structural members that have top and bottom flanges that are tied together with structural OSB webs.

Flanges are available in both solid wood and LVL.

• Common Depths = 9-1/2”, 11-7/8” 14” and 16”
• Flanges Widths = 1-1/2” to 3-1/2”

I-Joist benefits:

• Long Span Capabilities
• Continuous Spans
• Speed of Installation
• Eliminates the Need to Crown Lumber
• Readily Available
• Stocked Sizes
